After we learned that Xbox Live Gold will be necessary to record and stream video of games on the upcoming Xbox One, many wondered if Sony Computer Entertainment would pull the same stunt with the similar feature on the PS4.

Since Shuhei Yoshida is well known for running an alternative “customer service” on Twitter, by his own admission, many took to the social networking site to ask him the burning question, quite a few times. Luckily the answer is no. Yoshida-san confirmed that the recording and streaming feature will be accessible to everyone, regardless of their PlayStation Plus subscription status.

That’s most definitely what you call concise but sweet, straight from the lion’s mouth. If you were afraid to have to pay for PlayStation Plus in order to access the recording and streaming features, you can now rest easy.

well, i said it once in another thread. in my opinion the main reason why we get this option is because it is free advertisement for sony and microsoft if we upload those videos to facebook so that all your facebook friends see it. it's like a huge marketing campaign for free and that over years. just imagine they would have to pay for that so that millions of people always see playstation or xbox videos in their timeline. 

i think for that alone microsoft should also have it without gold (at least if you can also upload your videos to facebook with xb1, not sure about it)

Gold covers the cloud cost.
This functionnality is cloud based.
They didn't think further.

And, at their place, what would you choose :

- Free advertising or
-Getting paid for advertising your own stuff ?

And if you add on top of that that you need users to take the gold option ?
